653 Trained for Nothing


    “Yes.”


    Although Long Qingqing had turned her head, Jiang Ming still saw her reddened eyes. He sighed in his heart.


    Master Long’s injury must have given Miss Long quite a blow. She must be hoping that someone would be by her side now.


    She did not have anyone close by her side. Therefore, he would apany her!


    If Jiang Ming knew what Long Qingqing was thinking, he would not understand.


    How did he look like he did not have money to buy clothes?


    It was very hot. Therefore, he was wearing something practical!


    “Alright, I’ll call the coachman.”


    Long Qingqing was secretly delighted. She turned around and was about to find the coachman.


    “I’ll go with you. I’ll drive the carriage. There’s no need for a coachman.”


    Jiang Ming patted Long Qingqing’s shoulder and smiled.


    He could feel Long Qingqing’s happiness, and it infected him.


    Long Qingqing was stunned when she made physical contact with Ning Caichen. She nodded.


    When they arrived at the carriage, Long Qingqing was still thinking about how Jiang Ming patted her shoulder, and her ears could not help but turn red.


    Jiang Ming got into the carriage and led the horse with the ropes.


    He was very good at driving, and he immediately put his skills to use.


    At this moment, a group of immortals descended from the sky. They were ying around with their hands and emitting light at Jiang Ming.


    Their eyes were sharp, and their lips moved silently.


    Their intentions were extremely clear.


    “Ning Caichen, it’s time to die!”


    Jiang Ming did not expect that there would be people who dared to rush up to deal with him openly. He could not help but lose control of the carriage.


    However, he knew that Long Qingqing was still in the carriage. He could not abandon the carriage and run away.


    He faced it head-on, and he immediately discovered something odd about the immortals before him.


    Usually, immortals wore a certain type of clothing. This clothing was also made out of a specific fabric.


    It was fine if the immortals in front of him wore something different, but the fabric waspletely different.


    Were these immortals fake?


    His mind was racing.


    He could not help but make a bold decision.


    He decided not to fight back and just let these immortals do whatever they wanted.


    However, he also knew that this was an extremely risky decision.


    If those immortals were real, he would be injured.


    When the carriage met the immortals, the immortals all passed through it and did not touch Long Qingqing or Jiang Ming.


    Jiang Ming smiled.


    Who created this illusion? What was the creator’s intention?


    Seeing that Jiang Ming did not retaliate at all, the illusionist in the distance was dumbfounded.


    How had his illusion failed so easily?


    As long as no one retaliated against the illusionary immortals, they would be fine.


    However, if they fought back, they would suffer. The illusions would be real and corrode the brains of the targets. Then, they would enter the targets’ minds and make them rot to death!


    How had his mission failed?


    The illusionist was sweating profusely. He could not help but tremble when he thought of Long Chengxue’s violent temper.


    Long Chengxue had emphasized that he could not let Ning Caichen find out that he was the one who wanted to kill him.


    If Ning Caichen caught him, he would bepletely exposed. If Ning Caichen escaped, he would inform the people around him. Then, he and Long Chengxue would be finished.


    Unwilling to ept this, he immediately raised his hand and conjured some illusionary elephants in front of the carriage.


    These elephants were extremely ferocious. They had huge trunks and golden teeth on their ears.


    When Jiang Ming saw these elephants, he felt bewildered.


    These elephants looked quite strange. Moreover, why would these elephants appear on the street?


    Jiang Ming remained unmoved and let the carriage pass through.


    The illusion failed again.


    The illusionist immediately scratched his head and conjured another illusion.


    This time, he conjured the people around Jiang Ming.


    When he saw Zhu Asi, Zhu An’an, and the others before him, Jiang Ming shouted.


    This was really off the charts.


    Why were they here? They were clearly in Master Long’s mansion earlier!


    Did theye out to see him? Did they have nothing else to do?


    They were not the types to sit by and do nothing.


    In addition, he also saw them waving at him with smiles on their faces.


    Jiang Ming blinked.


    He did not care.


    He continued to pull the ropes and moved forward.


    Jiang Ming suddenly sensed something, and he was stunned.


    Why did this person create an illusion for him? He had no enmity with this person.


    Jiang Ming took out a silver needle.


    The person in the dark was caught off guard and was directly hit by the silver needle.


    His back hurt badly.


    The manined endlessly. He could not even conjure his illusions anymore. He limped back in pain.


    If he failed the mission, so be it. He could not bear the pain.


    Long Qingqing, who was in the carriage, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She felt a lingering fear for no reason. She started talking to Jiang Ming, who was outside the carriage.


    “Lord Ning Caichen, did you feel something just now? I can’t tell what it is.”


    “It’s probably nothing. Don’t overthink it.”


    Jiang Mingforted her and grinned.


    It would be a disgrace to her identity as a member of the Long family if she did not feel anything from those illusions.


    “If there’s anything, please tell me, Lord Ning Caichen. I know a lot of strange things,” Long Qingqing said.


    If it were not for the fact that Master Long and Elder Long would not agree, she would have gone somewhere else with Ning Caichen.


    This way, they could bond better.


    “What do you mean?”


    Ning Caichen’s interest was piqued as he continued.


    “We should get off the car. I’ll tell you when we get off.”


    Long Qingqing was d that Ning Caichen was interested in these things.


    She lifted the curtain again and saw that the shop was right before her. She said softly, “Alright, I’ll find a nearby ce to stop.”


    Jiang Ming nodded.

    “What is it? Damn it, he’s perfectly fine? What a bunch of trash! I trained you guys for nothing!”


    Long Chengxue smashed the teacup in his hand, and his eyes burned. He wanted to skin Ning Caichen alive.


    If this continued, it would be difficult for the Long family’s elder and Master Long to pull him down.


    He did not expect Ning Caichen to be so skilled. Moreover, this kid didn’t have any benefits to restrain him, but he had a lot of skills.


    When he became the husband of the dragon, it would be even more difficult for him to seize power. It was already even more difficult now.


    Since Ning Caichen could not be touched, then he would start with Long Qingqing. It would be easier to deal with Long Qingqing!


    Long Chengxue’s eyes lit up. He called someone over and whispered something into the man’s ear. The smug smile on his face widened.
